Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Denver & Boulder, CO

Leads the design, modeling, analysis, assembly, alignment, and productization of complex optical systems for neutral-atom quantum computers. Develops optical architectures, establishes design and alignment standards, performs tolerance and stray-light analysis, manages vendor development, oversees technical initiatives, mentors engineers, supports customer deployments, and contributes to intellectual property, technical documentation, proposals, and presentations.

Leads technical marketing for neutral-atom quantum computing products. Translates complex technology into value propositions, use cases, technical content, collateral, and presentations for academic, government, and industry audiences. Tracks scientific and commercial developments, shapes competitive messaging, validates technical accuracy, represents the company at industry events, secures speaking opportunities, and develops strategic relationships with customers, partners, and quantum ecosystem leaders. Requires a PhD, deep quantum technology expertise, strong communication skills, and travel up to 35%.

Design and maintain infrastructure supporting embedded systems for quantum computers. Responsibilities include OTA updates, device management, embedded security, monitoring and alerting, performance optimization, and CI/CD improvements. The role manages diverse on-premise and cloud infrastructure involving sensors, actuators, RF systems, lasers, and cameras, while collaborating with engineering and physics teams.

Maintain on-premises Linux servers and Windows VMs supporting quantum computing operations. Design automated workflows for hybrid cloud and on-premises infrastructure, improve scalability, and build monitoring, alerting, and performance systems. Collaborate with engineering teams to optimize CI/CD pipelines and deployment efficiency. The role also involves infrastructure-as-code, virtualization, containerization, hardware performance tuning, observability, and reliable production operations.

Lead systems engineering for future quantum computing systems, including requirements management, system architecture, MBSE, interface control, risk management, verification and validation, integration reviews, and technical planning. Serve as a technical integrator across quantum, hardware, software, controls, optical engineering, and theory teams. Support government program reviews, customer interactions, and development of system-level design and verification documentation.

The role involves designing high-performance control systems for quantum computing, focusing on embedded software, real-time systems, and hardware orchestration. Responsibilities include building firmware for SDRs, optimizing software for quantum hardware, and collaborating across disciplines.

Develops scalable optical devices for neutral-atom quantum computers through theoretical modeling, prototyping, experimental validation, and hardware integration. Collaborates with physicists and engineers, analyzes experimental results, and guides optical hardware design. Requires a Ph.D. focused on experimental optics, advanced expertise in optical physics, and experience designing and characterizing complex optical setups. Postdoctoral or industry experience and Python/Git proficiency are preferred.

Design and build deterministic, low-latency control systems for quantum hardware. Develop embedded firmware, device drivers, kernel modules, and orchestration for GPUs/FPGAs. Prototype in Rust, Python, C/C++, and CUDA, and collaborate with theory, hardware, and software teams to deliver production-ready, high-throughput control pipelines.

Lead technical direction and architecture for the orchestration software that coordinates quantum computing workloads. Rewrite research prototypes into production services, mentor engineers, deploy and monitor production systems, improve CI/CD, collaborate with hardware and quantum teams, and represent engineering externally.
